Has his buddy Warren Buffett taken a pay cut or paid his own damn back taxes yet?

Here’s a pay-gap remedy: send the Obamas on their last vacation ever. In prison.

Income equality is a Marxist political concept.

How odd? The minimum wage in 1968 was $1.62 per hour according to the federal government.

The pay gap should be wider, lazy lefties should receive no benefits, hard working Republican paid double and pay no taxes.
Also the Obums should leave the WH and reimburse the money they stole whislt in power. Never has an American President and his family been so LAZY.

This ‘morally wrong’ statement comes on the heels of the Vatican's statement about high interest lending being ‘morally wrong’. Apparently, Obama is the political equivalent of Carlos Mencia.

Since the Democrats took over Congress in 2007, the median income has fallen by $3000.

Socialists seem to like income inequality, as long as they and their cronies are rich and everyone else is poor.

So why doesn’t he just admit his policies didn’t work and turn the ship around? Because he’s vindictive.

Maybe he can explain to us what the hell Michelle was doing back at the UC Hospital that was worth $300K /year, but wasn’t important enough to hire someone to replace her.

Economists Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty found that between 2009 and 2011, 121 percent of income gains went to the richest 1 percent of the population

Am I missing something, or is that mathematically impossible?

Everyone must live in squalor and need, only then will socialism succeed!

I think the “income gap” should be related to the “effort gap”.

Effort to get an education. Effort to be responsible citizens. Effort to get a job. Effort to do the job well. Effort to start your own company (and risk savings and work extra hours for months/years). Effort to raise kids who put effort into these things.

Outside of a lot of millionaires in congress, I don’t think the problem is nearly as bad as liberals claim.

I wish people would mind their own business.

Considering the fact that the government’s constant printing of currency with nothing to back it up is the biggest reason poverty is rising and people are struggling with making ends meet, dear leader deserves something very painful for having the arrogance to lecture us on this subject.

Obama: Pay gap ‘morally wrong’

I knew eventually OTrauma would announce to the world he is a straight-on dogmatic Communist.

[wny]

he’s right about this pay gap thing. I want my pay raised to what he makes. Besides, I am better at my job than he is at his.

[vortec94]

That little number in the text about a workforce of 75 million caught my eye. I had thought that number used to be 100 million years back. that’s, what, 25 million smaller? Is that possible?

[skinkinthegrass]

here comes the hallmark of O'Butplug's economic plan; 98% "flyover country class - 2% Government class.
Just seems like "old times in "Mother/Soviet Russia" has begun, let the knock-knock raids/purges begin..
..it's not new/it's the same old Stalinist/Totalitarian mindset. new flies/same dung pile.

[freedomfiter2]

To the extent that the elites use regulations and immigration to depress wages, it is.
